A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

lmfao

It seems hard to believe but this site somehow actually had more insane drama than now back when it had like 40,000 total registered accounts

I do not believe in the death penalty for humans. I do support the death penalty for corporations. When they murder people, let's dissolve them. Break them up, destroy their technology, nationalize their assets. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

This isn’t even a hive mind, these guys have no minds at all.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

my basic philosophy for curating my blocklist is that i treat my replies like a front yard barbecue. strangers are welcome to drop in and chat, say hi, even grab a beer from the cooler. if you act like like a weirdo, i'm gonna see you out

being consistently most vitriolic loud angry person on social media is not a credit to your leftist credentials it just makes people not want to organize with you the most radical leftists i have the privilege to call comrades are some of the kindest people. knowing who to be angry at is important

EVERYONE IS JUDGING ME FOR MY BALATRO PLAY STYLE EVEN THOUGH IVE ONLY BEEN PLAYING IT FOR 2 HOURS TOTAL BE NICE TO ME

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

Twelve-year-olds in charge of our military. What could go wrong?

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

This is not a SCIF, it's a blanket fort

This is what the "he's just a guy with dumb takes-" thing misses. This guy will stalk, harass, and brigade people(almost always women) until they block him, then he'll just keep fixating anyway and trying to coordinate harassment anyway. But someone his targets are to blame.

Whenever I see someone getting out over their skis on a foreign policy take I remember Caitlin Flanagan confusing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khomeini and then claiming she was actually expressing a profound truth.

President no new wars is threatening to seize Greenland again. A day after raiding Venezuela and a week after bombing Nigeria. And MAGA is still talking about how he’s the peace president 🤦‍♂️ fucking idiots

John Stuart Mill had a great quote about the history of ideas that was very similar: "Most heretics seek only to make their heresy, the new orthodoxy, rather than making common cause for the rights of heretics in general".

some identify publicly with the left because they hate oppression, others because they hate being oppressed. things will make more sense when you keep in mind that these are not the same - or even similar

Elon Musk last night with Trump on the Mar-a-Lago patio

Also always true

always true

it's the most beautiful time of year

NBC's sources said that "the potential mission in Mexico is not designed to undermine the Mexican government." But that's what it will do if the US is doing CIA drone strikes on Mexican soil over the objections of the president.

They've been planning this for a long time:

This is an absolutely terrible idea.

Wow who went and put the Waku Waku 7 in my Fatal Fury?

“At the same time, he did not really answer my questions, instead directing me to tune into his news conference a few hours later.” 🤦🏽‍♂️

Rubio is in all other contexts a vapid moron, but it’s very funny that he has the ability to look an interviewer in the eye and explain that a Delta Force op to depose a foreign head of state and install a puppet in his place isn’t “military,” but simply good old-fashioned police work

Proteste, die die US-Angriffe auf Venezuela und die Entführung des gewählten Präsidenten verurteilen, finden aktuell weltweit statt. Von Lateinamerika bis Europa, von Afrika bis Asien lehnen Demonstrierende die US-Aggression ab und bekunden Solidarität mit Venezuela. 1/2

"More than a dozen residents — members and allies of the transgender community — spoke in favor of the resolution, and expressing the fear they've felt in the wake of attacks on the transgender community"

GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔 @marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.” GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.” RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. But put that aside for a second… What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil. This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

This one is resonating today. #Andor

Sen Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) does not mince words here with his take on the strikes in Venezuela and the capturing of Maduro. ‘This is a dumb administration following a dumb man into a dumb war that will have dumb outcomes.’ Go Sen Gallego, more of this please Democrats!! Bravo💥🔥💥

WELKER: “Are you running Venezuela?” RUBIO: *wOrDS* 🤷🏽‍♂️ GS: “Under what legal authority?” RUBIO: *moRE wOrDs* 🤷🏽‍♂️ GS: “Again: What legal authority?” RUBIO: *EvEn moRE wORdS* 🤷🏽‍♂️

Trump is threatening to steal Greenland. That’s what dictators and rogue heads of state do.

The indictment doesn’t mention oil or fentanyl. Just cocaine. (After he just pardoned the president of Honduras)

Makes about as much sense as what Trump just did!

Hey I'm suddenly completely uninterested in going to or buying anything made in colorado for any reason. That first sentence pretty much ended any vacation plans there while you are in office Governor.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Putin shows he can invade Ukraine with minimal reprisals. Trump shows he can take over Venezuela with minimal reprisals. It’s like they’re giving the nod to Xi Jinping to have a go?

If Dems really cared about What Happened Today they'd be flooding everyone's texts asking for money to somehow stand against it
